PCMCIA issue

Seems like there's a problem with the interrupts indeed :-(

1. Maybe your mainboard is not capable of acpi interrupt-mapping:
To disable acpi and enable apm instead, you should use the kernel params
"apm=on acpi=off". Just append both to /boot/grub/menu.lst. There should be
already params like "quiet bootsplash", just append. Then restart.

2. Try to exclude all irq's already in use, by adding a statement "exclude
irq 1" to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. The complete list of used irq's by using
the command "lspnp -v". This should give you the irq's used by legacy
devices like serial-ports, co-processor too. If there's no interrupt free at
all, then disable all irq's apart from one, and try through each irq.

Maybe one of these "tricks", or both together will help ;-)
